I'd love to find some time to meet up chat. I'm new to kilting so I have many questions.
Back to the kilt in question, extenders could solve the issue temporarily, but the symmetry of the apron is all off. Plus the sett that should be centered is noticeably uncentered. I think the only fix would be to pull the apron apart and maybe lose 1 pleat....but I'd like to talk ai over in person with someone. I got to believe that there is someone with the skills oin those 4 states to alter it correctly.
Atlanta does have one kilt store up in Suwanee: Atlantakilts.com
They don't make the kilts there, I believe most of their kilts are imported Pakistan acrylics, but they do some tailoring. They took in a kilt for me once, in fact. I've had good and bad experiences so hesitate to recommend them flat out, but they are fairly local and could probably advise you from a repair/alteration perspective that fellow kilt wearers won't have.
And we do seem to have a lot of new Atlanta area members! Maybe it's time to schedule a kilt night somewhere?

USA Kilts in Pennsylvania may be able to offer you assistance. They have been around a long time and I'm certain they would have no problem recommending a place, if they know of one nearby, that may assist you. They do wonderful work.

My kilt got et by moths this past Spring and USA Kilts was the first place I contacted about repair. Unfortunately they informed me that they will only attempt repairs on kilts of their own making...
